Nobody has mentioned that Debian support the Asus Eeepc with a customised version, see this page. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC I replaced the 'newbie friendly' linux that came on my Asus 900 with DebianEeePC within ten minutes of getting it home. It has the default gnome interface and I'd not change it for any other distro. Like someone else said I too got it to carry around to pick up wifi connections in pubs and the like, the wifi just worked 'outta da box'. I also use as a portable geneweb server for when I go to genealogical meetings instead of the much heavier Sony Vario I used to use. -- John Lewis using Debian sid -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
